This ADAM ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Mouse ADAM. This ELISA kit for research use only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications!

Preparation and Storage

Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C.

Sample Preparation

We suggest pre-experimenting with neat (undiluted) samples, 1:2 or 1:4 dilutions. Please avoid diluting your samples more than 1:10 as it would exceed the dilution limit set for this kit. If the expected concentration of the target is beyond the detection range of the kit, please contact our technical support team

Product Note

Our ELISA Kit assays are dynamic research tools and sometimes they may be updated and improved. If the format of this assay is important to you then please request the current manual or contact our technical support team with a presales inquiry before placing an order. We will confirm the current details of the assay. We cannot guarantee the sample manual posted online is the most current manual.

Other Notes

Small volumes of ADAM elisa kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS740613 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate Sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease (ADAM) ELISA Kit target analytes in biological samples. The concentration gradients of the kit standards or positive controls render a theoretical kit detection range of 1.0-25ng/mL in biological research samples containing ADAM, with an estimated sensitivity of 0.1ng/mL. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS740613 kit is based on ADAM antibody-ADAM antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect ADAM antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, ADAM. Appropriate sample types may include undiluted body fluids and/or tissue homogenates, secretions such as Serum, plasma, Cell Culture Supernatants, body fluid and tissue homogenate. Quality control assays assessing reproducibility identified the intra-assay CV (%) and inter-assay CV(%).

Principle of the Assay: ADAM ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-ADAM antibody and an ADAM-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with ADAM-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the ADAM concentration since ADAM from samples and ADAM-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-ADAM antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by ADAM from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind ADAM-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The ADAM concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
